About Black Swan Events and Innovation

“No technologies came from design and planning - they were just Black Swans. The strategies for discovers and entrepreneurs is to rely less on top down planning and to focus on maximum tinkering and recognising opportunities when they present themselves.”

Nassim Nicholas Taleb “The Black Swan”

It is really interesting how often our thinking is both clouded and constrained by our individual and collective thought processes and our perceptions about what is ‘real’ or not.  

To be innovative, we need to ‘break through’ these clouds and restraints through being open to what we don’t yet know. To come from a position of ‘anti-knowledge’. Until we can break through from our ‘blindness’ to ‘randomness’ and especially to large deviations from the norm, we can never be open to the ‘unexpected’ and the ‘inconceivable’.

An innovator is someone who has an idea that is not easily perceived by the current players. An innovator will operate differently from expectations, and the less their competitors who operate this way, the more likely the Innovator will succeed. Innovators maximise playing at the edges, letting go of the illusion that they understand what is really going on, challenging what they and others perceive and challenging current models and facts.

Whilst this may sound relatively simple, it is actually quite difficult to learn,  apply and assimilate.

We are currently researching, analysing and creating an innovative new Israeli Start Up organisation, one which 'brings to life', in a totally unexpected way, the Innovate Like an Israeli Model, to create organisational innovative eco-systems where innovation flourishes!
